Here’s what’s happening at the Smyrna Public Library.

Children’s Storytime

We will celebrate the birth of the new year at 10:30 a.m. Friday, Jan. 13, with books about birthdays. We will also commemorate unbirthdays as introduced by Lewis Carroll in “Through the Looking Glass,” the continuation of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”

New Book

We have an addition to our John Sandford collection: “Escape Clause: A Virgil Flowers Novel.” We have several of Mr. Sandford’s books, many in large print; this latest entry is in regular print.

Board Meeting

There will be a meeting of the Smyrna Public Library Board of Trustees at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19.

The first knitters’ meeting of 2017 was very well attended. We caught up with everything and everyone in general.

Donna was busy with hats and Kitty was knitting her second sock. Bonnie was doing a “dumb dishcloth,” and Mary finished sewing the toe of a Christmas stocking. Arlene sat at the head of the table and bossed us around while Pam was knitting a hat and Jan was ribbing the bottom of a sweater. As for me, after I got the socks done for Christmas I relaxed and then started working on a Christmas ornament - Kitty showed me how to finish it.

We meet from 10 a.m. until noon Tuesdays and enjoy two hours of uninterrupted needlework and visiting. This is our social mental health day - everybody needs one. Best wishes to you all for 2017!

Hours:

The library is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; 2 to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday; and 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.
